Last week, during the roll-out for the brand new IndyGo line on 86th Street, a very exciting bit of news was mentioned in the IndyStar article on a related subject.

Aside from the route changes, IndyGo riders can also expect real-time bus arrival information available through its website, text messaging and a smartphone app later this year, IndyGo officials said.

Urban Indy has pushed for this in the past. We intend to hold them to this promise, as it could be a game changer. Occurrences like this one could be made less painful if IndyGo were to become more interactive. We will post again once we hear official word of a release date.
